Who are we if we don’t have a home on the map? Strangers are those stuck in the space between locations. When moving from, you are nowhere and ungrounded. To travel is to merge the past with the present and with the future. Yet, in a world that defines us by our pasts, how can we be present when what we’ve left behind is irreplaceable in the now? And is it possible to return to the start when you find yourself stuck in a limbo along the journey to somewhere new? Terminis is a solo show contextualizing a single installation by Brooklyn-based artist, Victoria Manganiello. Exploring the intersections between materiality, space, philosophy and storytelling, this installation is a part of the pattern of her work.

The work develops melancholy for a hometown that could never be visited; lost in time and in what we call development. It is a unusual way of documentation of family oral tradition and a way of understanding the cultural rupture that happened between immigration and globalization. Meditates in the lost of tradition and origin.
